Hi Simon, lost+found is not only re-created by e2fsck, but also when
the filesystem is created. It's meant to be there in advance and left
untouched at all times so that in normal operation there's no likely way
a crash could break it. In a badly mangled situation, you don't really
want e2fsck creating new directories and possibly overwriting data; a
pre-existing lost+found is much safer.
Does that make sense?
